FECALFACE.COM INTERVIEW

Thanks to fecalface.com for posting a mini interview with me!! FF has been my favorite art website for a while, so its an honor to see my art mixed with the rest of the amazing work they spotlight.

Below are a couple of the the Q's and A's, go read the rest of the interview now!

Location? Age? Education? Website?

Portland, Oregon. 32. Bachelor of Science in Drawing, Painting, Printmaking, and a Minor in Graphic Design from Portland State University. www.garrettpriceart.com

How would you describe your work to someone?

Someone once described my work as cockroach art, meaning it looks like it has survived nuclear exposure. I would describe it as my photography and designs acid etched, or rusted, into the surface of steel plates. The framed steel hangs on the wall like a painting. My imagery is often desolate landscapes, with visual traces of human existence. The steel backgrounds, with their natural imperfections, add texture and atmosphere, as well as a direct physical and conceptual connection to the imagery.

Influences?

The up and down cycles of my emotions. Industrial architecture, nature and history.
